Actions

Coven Magic

action

1 use per long rest. While within 30 feet of at least two hag allies, the night hag can cast one of the following spells, requiring no Material components, using the spell's normal casting time, and using Intelligence as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 14): Augury, Find Familiar, Identify, Locate Object, Scrying, or Unseen Servant. The night hag must finish a Long Rest before using this trait to cast that spell again.

Multiattack

Spellcasting

action

2 uses per day. The night hag casts one of the following spells, requiring no Material components and using Intelligence as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 14):
At Will: Detect Magic, Etherealness, Magic Missile (level 4 version)
2/Day Each: Phantasmal Killer, Plane Shift (self only)

Nightmare Haunting

action

1 use per day. While on the Ethereal Plane, the night hag casts Dream, using the same spellcasting ability as Spellcasting. Only the night hag can serve as the spell's messenger, and the target must be a creature the night hag can see on the Material Plane. The spell fails and is wasted if the target is under the effect of the Protection from Evil and Good spell or within a Magic Circle spell.
If the target takes damage from the Dream spell, the target's Hit Point maximum decreases by an amount equal to that damage. If the spell kills the target, its soul is trapped in the night hag's soul bag, and the target can't be raised from the dead until its soul is released.
